2.4. Litigation. There are no actions, suits, or proceedings pending or, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, threatened, which could in any manner restrain or prevent the Company from effectually and legally exchanging the Securities pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

 

2.5. Brokers’ Fees. The Company has no liability or obligation to pay fees or commissions to any broker, finder, or agent with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

3. Representations and Warranties of the Investor. As an inducement to Timefire to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, the Investor hereby makes the following representations and warranties, each of which is true and correct in all material respects on the date hereof and will be true and correct in all material respects on the closing date:

 

3.1. Authority. The Investor has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. This Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable in accordance with its terms. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and all other agreements contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by the Investor.

 

3.2. Non-Contravention. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Investor and the observance and performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement on the part of the Investor to be observed and performed will not constitute a violation of applicable law or any provision of any contract or other instrument to which the Investor is a party or by which it is bound, or any order, writ, injunction, decree statute, rule or regulation applicable to it.

3.4. Brokers’ Fees. The Investor has no liability or obligation to pay fees or commissions to any broker, finder, or agent with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

3.5. Acquired for Own Account. The Securities to be acquired by the Investor hereunder will be acquired for investment for its own account, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and the Investor has no present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the Securities, except in compliance with applicable securities laws.

 

3.6. Available Information. The Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it can evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Company. The Investor understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk.

The Investor has had the opportunity to review the reports the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.SEC.gov/EDGAR.

 

3.7. Non-Registration. The Investor understands that the Securities has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and, if issued in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, will be issued by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Investor’s representations as expressed herein.

 

3.8. Restricted Securities. The Investor understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act. The Investor further acknowledges that the Securities may not be resold without registration under the Securities Act or the existence of an exemption therefrom. The Investor represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

 

3.9. Legends. It is understood that the certificates for the Securities will bear the following legend or another legend that is similar to the following:

 

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A FORM ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.

 

and any legend required by the “blue sky” laws of any state to the extent such laws are applicable to the securities represented by the certificate so legended.

 

3.10. Accredited Investor. The Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act and the Investor was not organized for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities.

5.1. Indemnification Provisions for Benefit of the Investor.
